Ok dude.....you are getting REAL old. Why don't you just get off our forum and join your other pokie buddies sipping cool aid. We are usually very welcoming to outside guests but you have worn your welcome out. Go away and come back on the 6th. I, for one, am sick of you.
Nah, I'm happy to have him here. At least his arguments have slowly progressed and gotten more interesting. Hell, he even called me out on a misspoken stat. That's a rarity.
hefley, a few things:
1) Thanks for starting to do research with your arguments. I appreciate that. Makes for better conversation and less pounding my head against a brick wall.
2) Matthew Stafford isn't here anymore, and I for one am grateful. Not that I didn't love watching him play when his head was in the game, but I hated watching him play when he had no clue what was going on (2007 SCarolina and Tennessee, 2006 Kentucky, etc). He's not necessarily Brett Favre, because Favre at least knows what it means to be an on-the-field leader. Watching Stafford for three years was a little like watching my hometown quarterback Jake Delhomme...you never knew if you were going to get a 6,000 yard passing game or six interceptions.
2a) But the point is that Stafford will have no bearing on Saturday's game. Bringing him up is like me asking you what your record was under Les Miles. It doesn't matter.
3) I don't dispute you on the stats. OSU outstatted Georgia in a good many categories. What I dispute you on is the quality of your competition. I'm not even going to get into the overall quality of Big 12 play versus the overall quality of SEC play, since every team in our conference has been to a bowl game in the last five years. The Big 12 cannot boast that.
In the meantime, I look forward to good civilized conversation in the next week. Also, I look forward to jaw-jacking you -- WITH FACTS!
